I was thinking about what sort of projects chemical engineers get. I have no idea.

I sorta got out the chain lenght (no thanks to ben curly lol) but I never had to find the number of teeth.
I moved on to justifying the shaft sizes and bearings but I have no idea how to do that with the data I currently have.
The instructions of the project are so vauge and badly written I think they did that on purpose to put us through the ringer.

I told my group members that I'm done with that project cause I'm feeling really stupid. Got a splitting headache yesterday trying to figure out stuff.

Can I ask why Sauron, and the other two evils?

I don't have a proper answer actually. I've always gravitated to villians in movies or in the little stories I've read. I think them to be much more interesting than the good guys especially since he left most of the machinations of Sauron to your imagination. Also Sauron was very wise if you considered the grand scheme of things. I love the thinkers like that. I like being able to out think everyone else, its fun. He's also very powerful. Power corrupts absolutly and absolute power corrupts . I like how nobody on middle earth can defeat him in a single + fair one on one combat. He has almost Valar like powers.

For the Nazgul, their most potent weapon, fear is so intriguing and fascinsting. How does it work? Is it a spell? How do to tone it up and down? Why can't they die normally? Why is Sauron powerful enough to defy Eru for 4000 years to prevent the Men who are the Nazgul from dying. The answers to most of those questions are very obscure and speculative and fascinsting. It's why I love the Nazgul.

have you tried asking the lecturers for help some of them are not that bad

or you could try one of the smarter cookies in your year ( yes we all have our pride but desperate times calls for desperate measures )

or you could try second years if you know any ( usually what I tend to do )

and what was the group response

Lol I'm a 2nd year. We can't really ask the lecturer because she said we'd lose marks if we come with questions she thinks we could've figured out on our own so we're not sure what she means so we just don't ask cause we dont wanna lose marks.

Oh cool. How do you design those stuff? Do you guys have to consider the material strength and do stress analysis?

Yeah I asked some others for help and they were as clueless as I am. Lol.

As of now the group haven't responded.

Well I am to do it as of yet so im not too clued up on it however, its more to do with the amounts going in, the size of reactor and calculating optimum conditions to operate it to produce maximum products at a given efficiency, whilst keeping an eye on the costs. Since the reactors, disitllation columns etc have been standardized in industry someones already done all the necessary material and stress analysis

Ah I thought you was first year like me my bad

Dangg loose marks well you could ask someone to take one for the cohort, im sure they will be more than willing with some financial incentives
